Didn't he only just put out the defiantly non psychedelic "psychedelic trance" album recently!
Seriously, a great guy, but why why why are there "epic trance" melodies every second bar the past years. I'll give him one thing, he is prolific i guess..

When you see the amount of "hits" on this album compared to his more creative Goa (Beyond the Mask) and Psy (Musica Divinorum) albums, you'll know why he keeps making these, though Zodiac got many hits and people seemed to really like Musica Divinorum and Beyond the Mask.

 

This is less complex, more generic, and less thought-provoking (intellectually stimulating) trance. The first track's not bad. But those cheesy melodies that begin in track 2 (and other tracks) are not fun to me. Many similar sounds appear to be used throughout too.

 

This album sounds way TOO SAFE and TYPICAL to my ears. But the general person doesn't know OLD (more edgy, imaginative) Talamasca from new (more mainstream friendly, formulaic). Oh well. I wouldn't buy it. There's just too much more creative stuff out there.

 

After finding new appreciation for his MUSICA DIVINORUM (2001) album, I'm going to go listen to ZODIAC (2003) and

BEYOND THE MASK (2000) again. I own Beyond the Mask (!!!) and Musica Divinorum (!). You gotta admit though, this artist produced a lot of great music before selling out to more typical, full on cheesy melody trance to appeal to a wider audience. It's like watching a sequel to Cars if you've never seen Finding Nemo or a good Anime like Princess Mononoke, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, Wolf Children, or Vampire Hunter D. If Cars 2 was my first animated film, I'd probably be in awe too. :D
